Surprise! We are excited to celebrate LeAnne Pugliese's Birthday today! It is a milestone birthday (we won't tell you how old she is today) but we will tell you how much LeAnne means to us!

Lesley here! LeAnne was one of the first people I met in "blogland" through the challenge "The Color Throwdown". She always left me the kindest comments and through commenting, we began chatting via email. We became fast friends and it was she who encouraged me to create my very first challenge blog called "The Paper Players". She has been a good friend through all of my blogging years and we have shared stories and adventures together. She is one of the kindest and most genuine people I have ever met and I am thankful for her friendship! Happy birthday, LeAnne!

We hope you will join us and celebrate LeAnne this week! Instead of a Christmas Challenge, we are having a Birthday Week! It is Anything Goes Birthday and you are welcome to link up! Of course, Christmas is about a very special birthday as well...so if you want to combine the themes and still create a Christmas card, please do!

The team have all created cards for LeAnne...and we have a HOP for you today...we hope you will hop along to see the cards we made!

I fell in love with Laurie's card as soon as I saw it! I love these trees, the buttons and that wide striped ribbon on the background totally sets it off! Gorgeous card, Laurie! Congrats!!

Congrats, Laurie! We hope you will join us as a Guest Designer. Please emailBonnie at bonklass at gmail dot com. Be sure to put "Merry Monday Guest Designer" in the subject line.

Hello everyone! Lori here, bringing you this week's "theme" and I chose it because the instant I came across this photo, I thought "what an awesome way to use up buttons and ribbon!" Awesome challenge for the week :) SO....dig out your jars of buttons and let's see 'em! Pair them up with some ribbon or twine and you're good to go! Happy crafting!

I just loved the cluster of silvery embossed stars that Kobylkin used across her clean and simple card. The dark green argyle background and the embossed sentiment gives it a clean fresh look...and who can resist those tiny bells? So sweet! Congrats, Kobylkin!
